Migrating Drupal 7 to Drupal 8
1 like142 views
A simple Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 Migration. With its new prominent features, Drupal 8 will set the standards in terms of offering numerous ways to customise website content, display data on mobile devices and build API’s. Due to the modern OOP (Object Oriented Programming) approach, it gives us a simpler migration process from its predecessor, with in-place content editing tools, along with a broad array of new themes.

- 36. Freedom lies in being bold
- 37. 1. Import the source database and define the connections in settings.php 2. Generate the migration template files using migrate_upgrade module: drush migrate-upgrade --configure-only --legacy-root=<website root> --legacy-db-key=<DB key> --migration-prefix=<Migration Prefix> 3. Export the migration template files using drush config-export: drush cex *** We need to export because it only exists in DB prior to this. Exporting will give the files to edit. 4. Edit/Delete the migration templates files into your config directory as needed. *** Ideally, you will just be migrating content, users and taxonomy. Configurations/content types can be manually created. 5. Reimport your changes using drush config-import: drush cim 6. Visit admin/structure/migrate and execute migrations (or rollback) as needed. Usually migrations are not as desired on the first run and edits to the custom plugin or template must be made. You can execute rollback and retry. If migration template changes are needed, step 5 must be executed for template changes to take effect.
- 38. 1. Migrate Tools contrib module for using drush to execute migrations. 2. Migrate Manifest contrib to group migrations in a manifest file. 3. Using stubs for migrating chicken or egg scenarios.
